1 Dying flies ruin the sweetness of the ointment. Wisdom and glory is more precious than a brief and limited foolishness. 2 The heart of a wise man is in his right hand, and the heart of a foolish man is in his left hand. 3 Moreover, as a foolish man is walking along the way, even though he himself is unwise, he considers everyone to be foolish. 4 If the spirit of one who holds authority rises over you, do not leave your place, because attentiveness will cause the greatest sins to cease. 5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, proceeding from the presence of a prince, as if by mistake: 6 a foolish man appointed to a high dignity, and the rich sitting beneath him. 7 I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking on the ground like servants.
